The Implementation Of Standards For Primary And Secondary School Uniforms

In June 30, 2015, the State Administration of quality supervision, inspection and quarantine and the State Administration of standardization issued the GB/T31888-2015 "primary and secondary school students".

It was implemented on the same day.

The implementation of the standard has been highly valued by the government.

The Ministry of education, the General Administration of industry and commerce, the General Administration of quality supervision and quarantine and the National Standards Commission issued the opinions on Further Strengthening the management of school uniforms for primary and secondary school students (Jiao Ji Yi [2015] 3]. The quality of school uniforms should be in line with the national standards of GB/T31888-2015 primary and secondary school uniforms.

Since the publication of the standard for one year, the relevant parties have raised some questions about the standard provisions and implementation. The standard drafters have studied and answered, and are now finishing up for the parties concerned to study and research in order to form a broader consensus.

1. What does "other student uniform" refer to in the standard range?

From the current education department's management of school uniforms, it is mainly aimed at primary and secondary schools, especially primary and secondary school students in the basic education stage. Therefore, the scope of application of GB/T31888 is the uniform clothing worn by primary and middle school students in schools, and points out: "other student uniforms can be referenced".

The "other student uniforms" here refer to kindergartens, vocational schools and tertiary institutions.

It also includes clothing for students on other occasions.

Children in kindergartens are generally 3 years old or older. According to the GB/T31888 regulations, the safety index of the clothing for the kindergarten is GB18401, 2010.

In addition to the requirements of category B in the basic safety technical specification for products, combustion performance, accessories sharpness, rope and residual metal needles should also be implemented in the GB31701-2015 "infant and child textile product safety technical specification" in children under 7 years of age.

2, how to coordinate the age of GB/T31888 and GB31701?

GB/T31888 cited GB31701, and GB31701 divided the age of infants and children into 3 segments: infants and young children were 36 months and below; children were 3 to 7 years old, 7 years old (inclusive) to 14 years old.

Pupils usually go to school at the age of 6, and some children are 7 years old when they enter school. Generally, they are 14 years old, and some children are 15 years old.

Because uniform is designed for uniform production and mass production, and in order to facilitate the unified management of education departments, students in primary and junior high schools are generally considered to be 7 years of age and above, under 14 years of age and below. Generally speaking, senior high school students are considered to be over 14 years old.

3, which standard should the school uniform size be executed?

In GB/T31888, the two standards of GB/T1335-2008 "clothing size" and GB/T6411-2008 "Knitted Underwear Size Series" are quoted.

In general, the size of woven school uniform is set according to GB/T1331, and the size of knitted school uniform can be set by GB/T1335 or by GB/T6411.

Although the height and height of these two standard standards are the same, the circumference (chest circumference and waist circumference) specified by GB/T6411 is larger and has no body classification.

4, how to distinguish between "fiber content" and article 4.2.2 "fabric fiber composition and content"?

These two places require different emphasis on fiber content, not the same content.

The fiber content is to check the fiber content marked on the label. According to the identification of textile fiber content of GB/T29862-2013, whether the deviation of the marking content is within the permitted scope, whether the label should be tagged, and whether the marking method is standardized or not.

Article 4.2.2 "fabric fiber composition and content" is a requirement for the material of fabrics or linings. It stipulates that the content of cotton fibers directly contacting the skin fabric is not less than 35%, so that the purpose is to restrict the use of purified fiber fabrics to make school uniforms, so that the school uniform has better comfort.

5. How do we understand article 4.2.2's "direct contact with skin" in terms of fabric fiber composition and content?

Under normal circumstances, it should be judged in accordance with the provisions of GB18401 whether the school uniform products are directly related to skin products.

For example, underwear, summer uniforms and uniforms used for direct contact with human skin products.

For summer wear school uniforms (such as skirts) with linings, the material is directly exposed to the skin.

For school uniform products such as spring and autumn clothing and uniforms with lining and fabrics, local rules can be drawn up according to the natural climatic conditions of different regions.

6. How do GB18401 and GB31701 perform when they are required for color fastness to GB/T31888?

Since the requirements of GB/T31888 for color fastness are higher than those of the mandatory standard requirements, it should be checked according to the color fastness index specified in Table 1 of GB/T31888.

7, what items should be specifically assessed?

We should check the quality of cold proof uniform.

Clothing stuffing often has down, cotton fiber, wool fiber and chemical fiber.

First, the filler should meet the requirements of category B in GB18401, including formaldehyde, pH value, decomposable carcinogenic aromatic amine dye, color fastness and odor.

For unstained fillers, no carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes and color fastness can be decomposed. Secondly, the filler should conform to the general technical requirements of GB18383-2007 "floc fiber products", including requirements for fiber materials and hygienic requirements for products.

If the down garments should also meet the requirements of GB/T14272-2011 down garment, including the amount of cashmere (or velvet content), the amount of filling, deviation, fluffiness, oxygen consumption, residual fat rate, cleanliness, odor and Microbiological requirements.

8. Is it allowed to use pins on accessories?

GB/T31888 stipulates that accessories should conform to the GB31701 sharpness requirement.

GB31701 stipulates: "accessories for children's textile products should not have sharp sharp edges and sharp edges.

Products need to be checked before they go out. No sharp metal needles and other sharp objects are allowed on the products.

Pins belong to sharp needles such as metal needles, which pose a risk.

Therefore, it is not allowed to use accessories. Other methods of wearing or fixing should be adopted.

9, must seam strength and yarn slippage be detected after washing?

Based on the regular washing of school uniform products, GB/T31888's article 6.1.2 stipulates that 3 unit samples are used to measure the size change rate of water washing, the rate of distortion after washing, the appearance of water after washing, the strength of joints and the yarn slippage at joints, so as to improve the performance requirements of joints, and at the same time, in order to reduce the sampling quantity.

Because the washing procedure may affect the test results, during the acceptance test and arbitration test, it is necessary to carry out the test according to the standard procedure, that is, the two days of the seam strength and the yarn slippage at the joint should be cut from the samples after the washing procedure.

10. Is the enterprise inspected according to the samples specified in the inspection rules?

The inspection rules specified in GB/T31888 include sampling plan and quality judgement, which are mainly used for acceptance test.

In case of quality disputes, the arbitration rules shall be adopted in accordance with the inspection rules specified in the standard.

For enterprises, internal quality control inspection or inspection rules are formulated by the enterprise itself.

For example, for some part of the internal quality inspection, it can be inspected according to the batch accepted in the fabric acceptance stage; for appearance quality inspection, one by one inspection is required.

The number of samples to be submitted can be determined according to the date of inspection.

11. Is there any difference between the assessment requirements of school uniforms for primary, junior and senior high school students?

According to the explanation of the above second questions, there are differences in the content of GB31701 involved in GB/T31888 in primary school, junior high school and senior high school students, which means that the burning performance, attachment sharpness, rope belt, residual metal needle and 4.2.4 4.2.4 accessories are sharp requirements in GB/T31888 Table 2.

12. How to mark the safety category of school uniform using GB/T31888?

According to the requirements of school safety technical indicators in GB/T31888, primary and junior high school students' school uniforms should reach at least GB31701 B class requirements, and high school uniforms should reach at least GB18401 B requirements.

Therefore, when marking the categories of safety technical requirements in the product instructions, they can be marked according to the categories of safety technology required by the product.

For example, primary and junior high school students' school uniforms can be labeled "GB31701B" (if they reach GB31701 class a requirement, they can also be labeled "GB31701 class a"). High school students' school uniforms can be marked as "B class" (for example, GB31701 class A, GB31701B class or GB18401 class a), or "GB31701 class a", "GB31701B class" or "class a".

13, how to understand "do not allow any labels to be made at the collar"?

Because the material and the way of sewing of the durable label are different from the material and the way of sewing, the durability label of the collar is uncomfortable or injured because of the friction with the skin. Consumers are dissatisfied with it and strongly appeal to change this traditional practice. Therefore, the GB/T31888 regulations do not allow any labels to be made at the collar.

It should be reminded that "any label" here includes trademarks and type labels.

If an enterprise or a school is to facilitate the issuance of school uniforms, the method of marking on the product's packaging bag can be used instead of the collar shape. If it is indeed necessary to label the collar, it can be directly printed on the garment with harmless dyes.

14, how to mark product level when implementing GB/T31888?

Because GB/T31888 does not rank the school uniform products, it only sets up a qualified line. Therefore, when implementing this standard, it is necessary to express the standard on the product label without marking the grade of products.

If required, it can be labeled "qualified products".

15, what is the relationship between GB/T31888 and GB/T23328 "woven student clothes" and GB/T22854 "knitted student clothes"?

The introduction of GB/T31888 has solved the problems of the standard of school uniforms for primary and secondary school students.

GB/T31888 involves a wide variety of products, covering a wide range, and is not an alternative to the existing standards such as GB/T23328-2009's "woven student clothes" and GB/T22854-2009 "knitted student clothes".

How the relevant standards should be implemented should be chosen by the competent departments concerned.

The Ministry of education, the General Administration of industry and commerce, the General Administration of quality supervision, inspection and quarantine and the four sector of the national standards committee "opinions on Further Strengthening the management of school uniforms in primary and secondary schools" clearly stipulate that the safety and quality of school uniforms should conform to national standards such as GB18401, GB31701 and GB/T31888.

Although GB/T31888 is a recommended national standard, the four sector documents have shown that primary and secondary school uniforms should implement GB/T31888.

16, GB31701 was formally implemented in June 1, 2016. Will it affect the implementation of GB/T31888?

As a mandatory standard, GB31701 will be formally implemented in June 1, 2016 and set up a pitional period of 2 years. GB/T31888 has been formally implemented in June 30, 2015.

Although the implementation date of GB31701 is later than GB/T31888, it does not affect the implementation of GB/T31888.

Because GB/T31888 refers to the relevant provisions of GB31701, it should be the text of the standard and will not affect the implementation of the standard.

17, how to supervise by GB/T31888-2015?

GB/T31888-2015 was formally implemented in June 30, 2015.

The four Department of the Ministry of education, such as the ten Department of the Ministry of education, "further strengthening the management of school uniforms and management of primary and secondary school students" points out: "all localities should formulate opinions on the management of primary and secondary school uniforms at this provincial level according to the opinions, and refine all the work measures."

Therefore, when implementing GB/T31888 and how to carry out supervision and inspection, it should be carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of the relevant functional departments.
